Koohii Story 1 The book´s story is just fine, but I found a kanji dictionary explanation also interesting: As crows are all black, it´s hard to see where their eyes are (black on black), so a stroke is removed from the part in the pictograph where the eyes would be.
Koohii Story 2 A crow is a bird, but not a white one. MEANING: write bird, but skip writing one in white.
